My dear Oliver

Thank you for sharing your life with our family for the last 13 years. You not only will be missed dearly by the family but the entire neighborhood as well. You were very social and would greet all the neighbors as they passed by our house on their daily walks. In fact if you were not there to greet them they would knock on our door and ask if you were alright. When my daughter would trick or treat in the neighborhood you were right by her side and would go up to each door with her while she got her candy. Most of all I want to thank you for being my son’s companion from the day he got you as his fifth year birthday present. You saw him through a lot of changes in his life and you were inseparable from him as he packed for college this past fall. There is an empty space in our hearts.
